My partner was up in the seventh grade IESA match last night. Before the match started, she made the mistake of asking the coaches if we had to play three games no matter what
(some conferences require that, or at least they have in the past). Naturally the coaches did not know, but wanted to play three anyway. I bailed us out by saying no, but looked like the bad guy in doing so. I likened it to finishing seven innings of baseball, and then playing three more for the heck of it.
